The SpaceX Android Lollipop custom ROM version 4.2 is now available for the International European version of Galaxy S5 (G900F). With maximum optimisation, the SpaceX Lollipop ROM is based on Android 5.0 stock firmware build G900FXXU1BOA3, which Samsung recently rolled out for the Galaxy S5 users in the UK.

Considered to be a stable custom release, the SpaceX v4.2 brings the Multi User feature with multiple customisations and fixes. Besides, this build removes the Knox security feature and unnecessary apps while improving the overall performance of the Galaxy smartphone. Moreover, it is fully deodexed and pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.45. The ROM is developed by XDA member Manh_IT.

If you want to update your Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0 G900FXXU1BOA3 SpaceX ROM, head over to the manual installation guide below.

Key points:

As the tutorial might wipe out all data of the phone, create a backup using custom recovery.

Enable USB Debugging Mode on the phone to connect it with the computer and use Android SDK with it. [Go to Settings>> About phone. Scroll down to Build number, Tap seven times on the build number. The Developer options under Settings should appear now. You can now enable USB debugging mode.]

The Galaxy S5 should have above 80% battery charge to avoid unusual shut down due to lack of battery, which could damage the device.

The phone should be rooted and have the latest version of recovery installed.

This SpaceX ROM is compatible only with Galaxy S5 G900F. Flashing this on any incorrect variant might brick the device. Verify the model number of the smartphone by navigating to Settings>> About phone>> Model number and install firmware based on the model number of the device.

As the SpaceX custom firmware is under the development stage, bugs are expected with the installation.
